BlackSun Theatre Company Returns With 100% COMEDY 100% CHEKHOV 7/28-8/16

BlackSun Theatre Company returns this summer with their new production of Anton Chekhov's One Act comedic masterpieces 100% COMEDY 100% CHEKHOV, directed by Jemma Gross.

Following their hugely successful three week sell-out run of ‘The Duchess of Malfi' at The White Bear Theatre in London in March this year, BlackSun Theatre Company now return with their new production ‘100% Comedy 100% Chekhov'.

This new production features a collection of Anton Chekhov's funniest and most revered one-act plays including The Bear, The Sneeze, The Jubilee & The Wedding.

Many of Chekhov's one act and short stories were written as entertainment in his local comic magazines and to support his family financially. He saw these as ‘amusing trifles' but it is really through his shorter pieces of writing that audiences can get a true sense of his comedic talents. These works provided a platform for Chekhov's full length plays by exploring themes of everyday life and his brand of stock characters. Through these four ‘jests in one act' presented by BlackSun this summer at the Greenwich Playhouse and at as part of the Abbeyfest Festival 2009, we will perform the beginnings of a truly comedic writer.

BlackSun was formed by a group of like-minded actors to present classic plays to a wider audience with the very highest standard of acting and by concentrating purely on the writers' text in the context of their time.

This summer, come and experience BlackSun's 100% Comedy 100% Chekhov and discover a well-known writer's often unrealised comic side.
